That took Miyume by surprise. She wasn't upset though part of her wondered if she should be. She stayed quiet as they walked, expression thoughtful. She rubbed his hand absently, while she tried to pinpoint precisely why that response struck her as so strange. It wasn't just the words themselves. If he was himself, he never would have phrased something like that.

"Did someone tell you that, Mirai?" she asked, in a soft concerned voice. He seemed so nervous tonight. It worried her.
